What I'm Reading This Week #37

Woo hoo, it's the weekend!  Shake whatcher mama gave ya!!

What Happened When I Stopped Working Out For 6 Weeks  (Interesting)

Possible air pollution link to Alzheimer's  (Great...)

I Work Out Because I’m Scared of Ending Up Like My Mother  (This had me in tears...I can empathize for other reasons)

How to Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs Without Picking Them to Death  (I just run mine under water as I peel them and they come out pretty good)

  3. Happy Weekend! Hope you are able to go to the antique show and the weather holds out. Had a meeting this morning that I lead, took the dogs for an hour drive in the country, and am waiting for the hubs to get home from work and we will cut the lawn. Then it's World Cup Hockey and college football. I had a very long day yesterday and I'm still feeling wiped out. But it's a nice, sunny day so that should give me an energy boost. =o)
